BRECKENRIDGE — With the longer days of spring upon us, there’s no need to waste daylight at Breckenridge Ski Area, where terrain park enthusiasts will get an extra hour each Thursday, starting April 7. During “5 til 5” park happy hour, 5-Chair will run until 5 p.m.

The extended opening is part of the resort’s spring festival season and includes music, free food, swag giveaways and jam contests. Registration is free, starting at 12 pm. each Thursday at the top of Park Lane.
Breckenridge is also hosting in a video contest with a free 2011-2012 season pass up for grabs for one skier and one snowboarder.

If you’ve been filming all season long and have some great footage from Breckenridge, now is the time to put together that best Breck edit and enter to win. It’s as easy as filming mad skills at Breck, creating a video showing off those mad skills and/or personality, and posting the edit to the Freeskier or Snowboard websites — then getting your friends to cast their votes, because the video with the most votes wins.
